So, everyone and their brother has a theory about Cincinnati Reds closer Aroldis Chapman after another blown save on Sunday. Phillies Spanish-language broadcaster Rickie Ricardo, is taking some of the credit for Chapman's problems.

"Aroldis Chapman, since he arrived in the U.S. and on a major league team, he has become a friend of mine, and as I do for many Cuban players they always ask me - there is a little Cuban bakery up near where I live in the Cuban strong hold of Union City, New Jersey," Ricardo told Angelo Cataldi and the 94 WIP Morning Show on Monday. "They cook this little Cuban pastry, which is a flaky-crust pastry with cream cheese and guava and it's baked, and it's absolutely delicious. Now, if you eat more than two of these you're clogging up your arteries - you're a stroke waiting to happen! Well, Chapman asked me on Friday night after the game to stop by the bakery and pick up a box of 50. For example, Livan Hernandez, guys like that-even Chooch (Carlos Ruiz), guys on our team, they'll put 10-15 of these things away with a couple of glasses of milk. It's equivalent of the Krispy Kreme donuts when they come right out of the oven, it's that kind of a thing."

"Could you imagine cream cheese and guava on a baked pastry? Well Chapman asked me for a box of 100, two boxes of 50. When I saw him on Sunday morning before the game, he was in the club house, he had just eaten about 18 of them. He couldn't breathe! I looked at my partner, I said, 'he's ripe for the taking today."
